Chapter 126 - 126: Saying One Thing but Meaning Another
When interacting with Chen Xiaoqian, it’s easy to be carried along with her emotions, and she does it quietly.
“If you’ve been close and suddenly break contact, there are several possibilities, the most common being that he feels you have no depth and that he doesn’t have to do anything for you. This is the beginning of weariness.”
So, Xiaoqian dares to take whatever Yu Minglang gives her because the only way for a woman to accept a man is to take everything he gives her, no matter what, as long as it is accepted and taken, lest they become a two-faced bitch.
Shi Yu nodded in understanding, but she felt that her situation was different.
She looked at Xiao Qian expectantly, hoping she would continue.
“There’s another situation where a man needs his own space. If you’re close and he suddenly disappears, don’t worry. He will come back after some distance, like 10 days or half a month. It’s in men’s nature to be like springs that need space.”
“It’s not that kind of situation either…”
“There’s one last possibility.”
Shi Yu felt that the last possibility was the answer she needed. She stared at Xiaoqian, who didn’t say any more, just handed her a book.
“From now on, when you consult me about relationship issues, please pay me by the hour for my services. The answers are in this book, go find them yourself.”
“Hey! You can’t just leave me hanging like that!” Shi Yu felt like Xiaoqian was really testing her patience. She took the book Xiaoqian gave her and opened it to find it was written in a foreign language.
“Da Yi, what’s this?” She handed the book to Dong Yi.
Although Dong Yi’s English was not as good as Xiaoqian’s, she could understand some simple sentences.
“Loveyourself, love yourself.”
Shi Yu scratched her head. What did this have to do with her love issues?
“Finding and loving your true self will naturally attract others to love you – and you don’t even know such simple English? How did you pass your College Entrance Exam? Girl, I’m worried for you. How will you cope with your future exams?”
After finishing giving advice to Shi Yu, Xiaoqian quietly put on her headphones and turned to studying criminal psychology while listening to a beginner’s French course, multitasking.
“How did I end up in a dorm with a top student? It’s so demotivating. Hey, Xiaoqian, are you reading a book that’s not from your major?” Shi Yu chatted with Dong Yi, while Xiaoqian was already in her study mode, ignoring what they were saying.
“Yes, she’s reading books about criminal psychology.”
“Is she really… Hey, is that rumor about Boss Qian true? The one where she goes against the professor of her major?” Just a few days into the semester, and there were already rumors about Boss Qian circulating around the school.
“Yes, it’s true.”
“So she really put on headphones and read a book from another major during class, and when the professor called her out, she debated with him for an entire class, leaving him speechless?”
Dong Yi nodded, she had been sitting right next to Xiaoqian when she was debating the professor.
It was the most legendary thing Boss Qian had ever done, standing up and explaining things even more clearly than the teaching assistant. In her past life, she was a doctor in this field, while the person lecturing her was just a lecturer, not even an associate professor, so there was no way they could outdo Xiaoqian.
Originally, they had wanted to embarrass her, but it turned into a debate between her and the teacher, ultimately leaving the teacher to extinguish his own anger. From then on, she was free to read whatever she wanted, and nobody bothered her anymore.
Qian’er became a legendary figure in the College of Science, although it was said that she was a humanities student in high school. Psychology was a major that both science and humanities students could apply for, but Xiaoqian had defied the odds and set a record.
University was indeed a place where legends are born.
“The world of top students is too dangerous; I’d better go back to being a slacker student.”
Shi Yu pulled a Taiwanese romance novel out from underneath her pillow. Slacker students and top students can be distinguished by the books they read.
Xiaoqian didn’t plan to waste her university years, though she already had a firm grasp of her major. Yet there was more to learn than just her major.
When she first entered university, she considered whether she should focus on making money and mix her graduation certificate or seriously study something else for a few years.
In her previous life, her research was focused on applied psychology, mainly as a psychological counselor, dealing more with marriage and emotional counseling. This time, she shifted her focus to criminal psychology and developmental psychology, which she was less familiar with, focusing on children.
She felt that she owed her daughter too much in her previous life, so she was determined to make up for it this time.
As for why she was studying criminal psychology… An image of Yu Minglang appeared in her mind, and Xiaoqian shook her head, denying that it was for him. She only wanted to learn more skills.
She could make money whenever she wanted, but her university years were the only time she could truly focus on her studies. Having returned to university, Qian’er didn’t want to waste this opportunity to recharge her knowledge.
After listening to almost the entire cassette, Xiaoqian took off her headphones to flip it over.
She heard Shi Yu talking to Dong Yi.
“Da Yi, from a psychological standpoint, why do domineering CEOs in these stories love someone but never admit it, and even say they would never love a woman like her?”
“It means their words don’t match their hearts, which usually happens for three reasons: self-protection, caring for others, or having concerns. When women do this, they usually want to test a man’s intentions or sincerity.”
Dong Yi saw this in the book and said it casually.
Xiaoqian froze.
Shi Yu nodded to herself, “So when a woman says it’s not for him, it’s actually for him, just like when a woman in those adult movies says ‘no’ but actually means ‘yes’!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a pillow hit her face. Shi Yu looked up, puzzled, to see Boss Qian standing in front of her with a cool expression, “Watching too many adult movies is bad for your health. Have some fruit to reduce the heat.”
As Xiaoqian turned to wash her hands, Shi Yu was still confused, “Is Boss Qian’s face a bit red from the heat?”
Xiaoqian washed her hands twice before the heat on her face receded a little. She hadn’t even finished wiping the water droplets from her hands when Shi Yu called her.
“Boss Qian, your family is on the phone!”
It was Jia Xiufang who called, and as soon as Xiao Qian answered the phone, she heard Jia Xiufang sobbing.
“Qian’er, what should we do? Your brother called today and said he can’t take it anymore. People there are always telling him what to do. Can you tell him to come back?”
Xiao Qian pushed up her glasses.
“Alright, let him come back.”
Jia Xiufang breathed a sigh of relief, but was choked by Xiaoqian’s next
